LIETUVOS ENERGIJA AB Chief Executive O cer’s report The year 2010 was very signi cant and exceptionally productive for the Lithua- nian energy sector. During the year, work was carried out towards the achieve- ment of the main goal of Lithuania and other Baltic States – a market that is func- tioning successfully, is reliable, e cient, competitive, environmentally friendly and integrated into the energy system of Continental Europe. In 2010, conditions for the achievement of Lithuania’s energy independence were created. Lietuvos energija AB is no exception – the year was full of essential changes and challeng- es for the company. Lietuvos energija AB took up signi cant challenges in 2010. Upon closure of the Ig- nalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP), local generation capacities have been strength- ened and the power sector have been restructured according to the provisions of the EU‘s Third Energy Package. BaltPool UAB – the Lithuanian electricity exchange was established and started operations, with Lietuvos energija AB becoming its ac- tive participant. The reorganisation completed in 2010 had a considerable impact on the company.

  • The Euro Area Enlargement: the Target Date Problem
    ISSN 1392-1258. EKONOMIKA 2009 88 THE EURO AREA ENLARGEMENT: THE TARGET DATE PROBLEM Arūnas Dulkys Doctoral Student Department of Theoretical Economics Faculty of Economics Vilnius University Saulėtekio 9, LT-2040 Vilnius, Lithuania Phone: +370 5 236 61 47 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The common currency as a changeover project was a multidimensional phenomenon and one of the most important events in the European monetary history. The European Union membership provides the new Member States with an opportunity to access to the euro area, but they are free to choose the target date for the euro adoption. The situation has essentially changed over the recent two decades following the conclusion of the Treaty of the European Union becau- se the relationship between the euro area and non-euro area experienced the proportional shifts in the critical mass of both the population and the annual gross domestic product. This article is innovative, in particular, in its decision to explore the problem related to the target date for the euro adoption. State leaders and other high officials often point out publicly to the most different target dates for the euro adoption in the country. However, the author of the article as a researcher is interested only in the plans recorded in the official documents with concrete responsibility and non-speculative commitments. The article concludes that if non-euro area member states want to adopt the euro as quickly as possible they need a sound changeover strategy with a definite target date. If the government fails to support a systematic planning for the euro adoption strategy and control effort for the changeover measures, any target date for the euro adoption will be unrealistic, irrespective of the fact how dutifully all involved institutions may work.
